AI agents run this automated biology lab that sequences DNA and more

So, imagine a biology lab where AI agents and robots can plan and carry out experiments with only a simple prompt from a person. At Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the AutoDNA system coordinates more than 20 types of instrument and can perform thousands of steps, including synthesizing and sequencing DNA. The team tested it on tasks such as spotting a cancer-linked mutation and encoding a message in DNA. I find it exciting that people mainly need to step in to replenish reagents and maintain the equipment, bringing self-driving science a step closer.
